A good way to start your day

To my surprise, Maggie my 1969 Squareback didn't want to start on Tuesday morning as I was getting ready to go to work. After doing some digging around I found out that it was most likely the starter. So with the help of one of my friends we tracked down a remanufactured starter from Autozone and swapped her out. It was a bit of a pain until I found out about the secret bolt that inside the engine compartment. Once that was replaced...it was smooth sailings and now my squareback is back on the road and she starts up better then ever. I used to think it took a bit to get her started because she was 37 years old, but it turns out it was just the starter going out. Now she starts up like a brand new ride.
